I like the 2013 collection as well. Especially the Wimbledon collection. With silver and white. I also like the us open and the French open. The ones with the volt isn't necessary. Should be a different color

I wasn't sold on those at the beginning but mine have gotten tons of compliments - they're perhaps the best subtle colourway they've done so far imo - the picture doesn't do them justice at all. The Wimbledon ones were by far the worst and the Madrid ones the best imo.

WHY do you guys not like the australian open colorway??? its my favorite actually.. hahahaha

I second that, looks much better in person. I hope I can keep these off the court to preserve them. Being the first and also the color shown in the Tinker videos with lends to the color way being one of the most memorable.

While Volt is not my favorite color, I do have the IW colorway and have worn them all summer and have started to wear holes in the soles. I also have the same colorway but in the black too that still have some tread on them. I am picking up the Cincinnatti Obsidian/Blue colorway today and will probably add the Blue ones that just came out for the Fall season too as I like the way they look.

For sure. The Aussie Open ones and the basically the same ones which Tomic etc wore with the black plastic stip were pretty meh... the Cincy/Miami ones were fantastic though - that green strip and the darker green tongue seemed to be a good general colour combo.

Yeah, if they just didn't have the volt accent they would be great looking.

my favorite color way is still the USO. although two colorways that i think are greatly under-appreciated are the AO and the OG.

the AO colorway got a lot of flack initially. i even thought they looked quite floppy in the first set of leaked photos. to see this shoe in actuality however is a completely different aesthetic. all three colorways that came out prior to the release of the synthetic leather shoes were great IMO, but, in particular, i liked AO colorway's balance between grey and white in the upper, setting the ground for the volt and red.

The simplicity of the colorway in the OG shoe really brings out the subtleties of the shoe's design. the TPU frame, adaptive fit system and mesh upper all being one color has a really nice effect, highlighting the form of the adaptive fit against the mesh. it was also the first release of the year featuring a TPU frame that matched the color of the upper, much like the previously leaked but later released USO colorway.

EDIT: one reservation i have is not necessarily with the shoe but with the rest of the OG outfit federer wore with the shoe. i feel like the shoe would look great if the entire outfit werent comprised of white and red.

Of the ones I have; from top to bottom would be my favorite color combos. I definitely prefer the mess ones more - just more flexible. I wore the blue SL's all day to a nike tennis camp and bruised both little toe nails, with the left one falling off completely. 6 months later it's grown back. I've been too freaked out and haven't even worn my Wimbledon ones.

I like them and the SL french open ones, but I personally like wearing white shoes when I'm playing. I decided this when wearing the vapor 8 USO and looking down at my outfit I said "this really isn't me." :???:

Yes the OG with just the all white and red sole are probably the BEST EVER color scheme in a tennis shoe.

It's really too bad this shoe was a limited edition or else I would have purchased another 2 pairs. I get complimented with the OG shoe at every club/venue and the chicks love it too.
